SWOT Evidence Refresh Agent

Give the owner an updated SWOT in which every item shows its evidence and status.

SWOT Evidence Refresh Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A SWOT written last year still gets quoted in meetings, even though the market has moved. Each quarter the agent reads the current SWOT and takes each statement one at a time. For every item it looks for fresh evidence in sales win and loss notes, market data and competitor moves, then marks the item as confirmed, weakened or unsupported. It also scans the same sources for new strengths, weaknesses, opportunities or threats the document does not mention, and proposes them with sources. If the evidence for an item is thin or conflicting, it searches again in a second source before marking it. The owner decides what goes into the updated version. Edge case: one loud lost deal can make a strength look weak, so the agent requires more than one source before weakening an item.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

An item is confirmed with two supporting sources, weakened when evidence points against it, and unsupported when nothing recent is found. One source alone never changes an item's status.

  • Require two sources before weakening or confirming an item
  • Mark an item unsupported when nothing dated in the last 6 months backs it
  • Propose a new item only when it appears in at least two sources
  • Keep statements in the owner's wording unless the owner asks to rewrite

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Sources used for evidence
  • Number of sources needed (default 2)
  • Age limit for evidence (default 6 months)
  • Review schedule (default quarterly)
  • Format of the updated SWOT

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Owner approves the updated SWOT
  • Owner approves removing any item

Hard limits

  • Never delete an item without owner approval
  • Show evidence for every status

It stops when

  • Done: updated SWOT approved with evidence log
  • Stop: sales notes are unavailable, report which statements could not be tested

An example run

What happensThe SWOT lists 'fastest onboarding in the category' as a strength. The agent finds 9 win notes that praise onboarding, but two competitor launches now claim 'same-day setup'. With only one competitor source the status stays confirmed, so it searches a second source, finds a customer review confirming the rival claim, and marks the item weakened. The director approves with a note to prove the speed claim.
